SUMMARY:Birth Doula Training
DESCRIPTION:\nIf you sense that birth doula work is more than a job—that it’s a calling—read on.\nAre you ready to pursue a career that blends your passion for meaningful community support with your deep interest in pregnancy and birth?\nDo you feel called to be part of a movement that nurtures the conditions for fulfilling birth experiences—by offering evidence-based knowledge, proven comfort techniques, skilled emotional support, and steadfast advocacy for the families you serve?\nIf so, you’ve come to the right place.\nThe learning process for doulas is profound and personal. It’s about drawing out and refining the unteachable qualities you already carry—especially if you feel called to the high-intensity, deeply human world of birth support work.\nMy name is Lesley Everest. I’m the founder of MotherWit Doula Trainings. I’ve been training and mentoring birth and postpartum doulas—and guest lecturing in nursing and medical programs—for over twenty years. With more than three decades of active doula work and the experience of building thriving doula practices in two cities, I bring insights and tools to this training that you won’t find in other courses.\nAs a longtime somatic therapy practitioner, this training is trauma-informed and nervous system-aware. We focus on supporting families in building the capacity, resilience, and skills they need to approach birth with greater confidence—by connecting to both internal and external resources.\nThis work is rooted in an understanding of the intersectionality of birth. We explore how to meet the unique needs and uphold the values of every family we serve—always with curiosity, humility, and a mindset of high regard.\nA core part of this training is a deep dive into what I call the Three Rs of Doula Work:\n\nRelationship – Secure connection is foundational. It builds the emotional safety essential for an empowering birth.\nRespect – For the physiology of birth, our clients’ values, and their unique choices.\nRoom – Creating, nurturing, and protecting the emotional and physical space within and around the birth giver.\n\nOur trainees are open-hearted individuals who understand that birth is not merely a means to an end—it’s a powerful, story-shaping experience that matters deeply to the personal and cultural narrative of Family.\nJoin us for this 2-weekend, 42-hour live and online immersion into the art and science of birth doula care.\nYou’ll also receive personal mentoring and individualized feedback as part of your certification journey\n\n\n\nBecome a MotherWit Certified Birth Doula.\nBirthing Doula Training Live Online via Zoom!\nThis 42hr training is held over 2 weekends in August 2026August 21st 9pm EST (Friday)August 22nd and 23rd 11am -8pm EST (Sat/Sun)August 28th 6-9pm EST (Friday)August 29th and 30th 11am-8pm EST (Sat/Sun)\n\nLive via Google Meet and open to anyone in North America\n\nView Certification requirements HERE ( https://motherwit.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/MotherWit-CORE-Birth-Doula-Certification-Requirements-2022-Web.pdf ) \nNote these requirements are for certification after the initial workshop/training.\nThere are NO prerequisites to take the training\nCost: $800 + applicable taxes\nREGISTER NOW!\n
